My second son recently had his appendix removed. This left me with a few thoughts about our health care system.
My wife initially took him to a hospital in Edina. They saw our son in the ER pretty quickly and, after some CAT scans confirmed that he needed his appendix removed immediately, told us that he'd have to go to a different hospital because he was under 14. I found this rather odd as we had been there over three hours by the time we received this news and were left to drive into Minneapolis in the middle of the night by ourselves.
However, I could not be more impressed with the level of care by son received at the U Children's hospital. Wonderful staff. First rate care. And, he left the hospital and returned home about 14 hours after surgery--unbelievable. And, with only three very small wounds were the incisions were made.
